MuGS with NNTP

[glyn@gsb001.cs.ualberta.ca (G. Devin Reade)]

If anyone needs a copy of MuGS (the Unix host end) that works with NNTP
news servers (the "grab" in the current release of MuGS only supports
the configuration where your Unix host is a news server), let me know,
preferably by email.

The version I am using is a modification from MuGS v3.0d25, and is _not_
yet supported by Brian Tao.  (I only told him about it yesterday.)  If
you want to use it, you must have shell access on your Unix host and
have knowledge of C programming (due to some host-specific configuration).
Knowledge of Bourne shell programming is helpful, but should not be
required.

The changes I made provide the functionality of "grab", but instead of
copying files off of the host machine to a local directory, it uses "slurp"
to make an NNTP connection to a remote news server.
